Book excerpt: If there is to be a lasting Irish solution, Protestants will have to be accommodated. Presbyterians, the largest Protestant denomination in Northern Ireland, have had a profound effect on the region's history and politics. Yet they are often misunderstood or simply ignored in the search for political solutions to the conflict. In this timely book, former Presbyterian Moderator John Dunlop explores the identity of modern Irish Presbyterianism, explaining its complex sense of Britishness and Irishness, but arguing against the siege mentality which "will be the death of us all".
